If you have a barn or stable,
you can help save a cat!
Sometimes we have cats who cannot live as house pets. Cats in our
barn cat program fall into one of three categories:
- Cats whose litter box habits make them unsuitable to live in the
house.
- Cats who are just too independent to appreciate being cooped up in
cages.
- Cats who are shy or fearful of people, and who prefer the company
of other cats and animals.
Please note that we do not adopt cats who are suitable to be
household companions to barns, only those cats without other options.
You may be a homeless cat’s
last chance.
Barn placement is the last chance at life for these cats. Without
barn adopters, they have nowhere else to go.
If you have a working barn
or safe, heated outbuilding, there are cats who need you. Having a barn
cat or cats will help keep down the rodent population. The cats will be
helping you, while you provide them a safe place to live. And, because
these cats are already spayed or neutered, you won't have to worry about
endless litters of kittens appearing!
What we provide
All cats available for adoption to barns are spayed or neutered and
vaccinated. When you adopt a barn cat, we will go over with you how to
acclimate your new cat to the barn and make them her at home.
The $30 adoption fee for barn cats helps us cover some of their
medical costs. Since many of these cats thrive in the company of other
cats, we offer a $10 discount off the total when adopting more than one
barn cat at one time.
What you need
The farm or barn owners who adopt the cats agree to give them:
- Shelter in a barn, outbuilding, or stable
- Long-term veterinary care, as needed (they're neutered and
vaccinated now)
- A secure place to keep them for the first 2-3 weeks, while they
acclimate to your barn.
This can be a tack room or any secure indoor
enclosure that they cannot escape from. We can lend you an
introduction cage if no secure area is available.
"Our task must be to
free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all
living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
